A joke which arose from Sony's E3 2006 press conference.
While showing
off the game Genji 2, it was claimed that the game was based on
Japanese history, and that the battles were based on battles that took place in the period.
This was followed up by the revelation of a "giant enemy crab" battle and it was announced that you "attack its weak point for massive damage."
The irony of these statements has made giant enemy crab a popular
internet meme.
Genji 2 is an action game, which is based on ancient
Japanese history.
Being based on history, the, um, stages of
the game, will also be based on battles which took--actually took place in ancient Japan.
...
So here's this giant enemy crab, and you...attack its weak point for
massive damage.
